What is MS file?
The file with the extension MS is the Executable Files file type. It was designed by Autodesk. Executable Files consists of 140 similar files. 3ds Max Script Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others.
How to open MS file?
The most common problem when using 3ds Max Script Format is that a specific MS is not associated with the program. This causes the file MS to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MS file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install 3ds Max
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that 3ds Max is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing 3ds Max into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support MS files.
Programs to open MS file
Remember to download programs supporting MS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of 3ds Max with MS files
If, despite the installed application, the MS file does not start in the 3ds Max application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the MS file with the 3ds Max application.
Step 3. Update 3ds Max to the latest version
If, however, after binding 3ds Max with 3ds Max Script Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MS file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to MS files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our MS file. However, remember that not every infected MS file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of MS file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MS file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MS files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the MS file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MS to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
